The Guardian Chronicles

Chapter 6

Percy's POV

I am confused right now. So 3 people in the hunt know him and he knows Chloe? What? Gah this is so confusing. "Looks like it's question time for lunch." He said when he saw that all of us has shocked or very confused looks.

We all sat at the table as he said, "Alright. Shoot away." Me, being the extremely curious one asked, "How do you know Chloe? How does Mary and Sophie know you? There are other Guardians? How does Artemis know you and what about the knife?"

"For the first one... remember that is said that I was the champion of Khione, technically we kinda... ummm. You know what I can't take this anymore! I'm her dad, okay! There I said it!"

"Wait what."

"If you are that blind, look! She has my eyes. Alright moving on. Second question. Mary is my sister and for Sophie, I know her brother. Well, he's a mortal but you get the point since I'm one of the Guardians of childhood. He was the first one to believe in me. Yes there are other Guardian but sadly they are the last ones including us. They are the Guardians of Childhood. We protect the kids the best we can so if you guys had a horrible childhood, I'm sorry but we tried." He stated.

Great! Now I can have someone to blame my horrible childhood on! "There is North, whom you call Santa, Guardian of Wonder. There's Tooth aka Tooth Fairy, Guardian of Memories. There is Sandy, he's the Sandman, Guardian of Dreams. And finally that nasty Kangaroo, The Easter Bunny, Guardian of Hope." He listed. Wow who knew that Santa was real.

"Hey what about the last question?"

"Oh, for that I think you should see that for yourself. Tooth! Show them Burgess, Pennsylvania, March 1717." He shouted into the air while drumming his fingers on the table.

Suddenly, there was a hologram that showed a young boy, skinny with blue eyes and brown hair in the woods then all of a sudden the hunters came into view nocking their arrows. The boy, who I suspected was Jack, was trembling begging for mercy. All of a sudden, a familiar voice called out, "Jack! Where are you! Dinner is ready, Mom's gonna kill us!" Mary turned to Jack with anger clearly written on her face, "So that's where you've been!"

"Shh. Watch" was Jack's only reply. The hologram shows another scene. Where Jack and the hunters were fighting side by side. Jack has matured slightly more and they were fending off monsters.

Another scene showed the hunters and Jack Frost playing with each other. They looked like they were having so much fun. The hologram showed one last scene. It was two people in a tree, a boy and a girl, the moon was shining on their faces as the boy gave the girl a dagger and the hologram zoomed in on them and I could see the details of their faces clearly.

Realization dawned upon me that it was Artemis and Jack. I turned to Artemis in shock to see her fiddling with the knife that Jack gave her. I turned back to the hologram and saw that they were leaning in. Jack widened his eyes and exclaimed. "Umm heh heh, I think that enough, Tooth!" He jumped up from his seat and tried to cover the hologram. Keyword: tried. The hunter adverted their eyes and I looked at Artemis and Jack. "Wow guys, what happened?"

The hologram disappeared as we looked at them. "I...I think we should move out." Jack said. We grabbed our stuff as we moved out.

As we were walking, Thalia nudged Jack. "Hey, did you guy do anything more?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows. "What? NO! It was only that night."

"Oh, why? Did you break up with her like all the other males?"

"No. It's because I died. Saving her." He pointed to Mary. "It's a very touchy subject. Did I tell you that Guardians are also blessed with abilities like yours, Percy?"

"That's cool. Wait so Mary is your sister, but what about Sophie?"

"I knew her brother. He's my favorite mortal kid. He's awesome." He told me everything, about Jamie, about Sophie, about Mary, about the Guardians and about Pitch.

"Hey guys, you wanna have fun with the campers?" Thalia barged in. "No worries, Thals. I have just the thing."

~time skippety skip skip skip~

We arrived at the border of the camp and Operation: Freak the Campers is to go. I found out that jack can also turn into a wolf just like me. Except that his is pure white with blue eyes while mine is pitch black with sea green eyes. We turned into wolves and stood by Artemis's side. We approached the border to find that Adam and that Annabitch is making out. Thalia coughed loudly to get their attention giving a look like excuse me but more like hey! There are a group of man hating girls watching you make out so CUT IT OUT!!!. "Hey Annabeth, where Percy." Thalia asked innocently.

"Oh that coward left camp. He didn't even save Adam when he arrived at camp. Are those new wolves because I don't remember them." She replied. "Ah yes. They are our Guardians."

"Guardians? Pfft they look so puny! How do they guard you?" Adam taunted. I looked at Jack and tried to suppress a laugh. We both looked up at Artemis asking for permission. She nodded as we transformed into our human form with our hoods up. "You were saying?" I asked. Adam whimpered. He recomposes and turned back to his jerkish self. "So what. You Guardians are males. What do you do huh? Sleep with them?" Jack and my eyes widened as I threw my throwing knife and Jack threw something that looked like a fidget spinner? What? My throwing knife and his 'fidget spinner thingy' embedded into the tree behind Adam. "Say that again and I swear that I won't miss." He walked back to camp with Annabeth behind him.

I walked up to the tree and grabbed my knife. I looked at the tree and saw what Jack threw. Huh so it was a fidget spinner but at each tip, there was a small blade. "What is this?" I asked Jack. "Oh, North gave it to me. He's a nice guy. He gave me this so it is a hidden weapon. I just press the handle together and bam!" We walked into camp, the one place I thought that I would never see again. As we walked up to Artemis, standing by her side, we heard whispering and muttering like 'Am I dreaming?' and 'A boy with the hunters? Good luck.'

We walked towards the big house, meeting my old teacher. "Lady Artemis, it's a pleasure having you here. And I see that you have your Guardians with you." Chiron greeted warmly. "Yes, they are. Would you like to show yourself?" I smiled as I pulled down my hood. "Hey Chiron. Nice to be back." I said as I hugged him warmly. I turned to Jack as he pulled down his hood as well. "If it isn't the legendary guardian Jack Frost! Looks like I am the best teacher any demigod could have!"

"Wait you know him?" I asked Chiron surprised. "Why of course. The best son of Hermes of the century back then."

"I only lived until I was 17, Chiron." Jack replied rubbing the back of his head. "Anyway we better get going Perce. We still got Operation: Freak the Campers!"

Chiron chuckled, "You and your weird names. It never gets old."
